Zin Taylor's first solo exhibition at Jessica Bradley Art + Projects follows the success of his recently launched DVD projection Put your Eye in your Mouth: A Conversational Documentary Recording Martin Kippenberger's Metro-net Station in Dawson City, Yukon (22 minutes, colour) at Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver and Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi, Berlin. Taylor has created a new body of work consisting of a series of common forms that have been altered to accommodate a specific narrative. Six drawings entitled Growth on a Form present imagined minimal wood pedestal structures that have become overrun with an ooze-like material. A large skeletal assemblage, The Wishing Well, adopts the form of a modest side-table constructed with differing lengths of one-inch spruce and intersected with plateaus of found masonite. The final element in the exhibition is a 7-minute single-channel video entitled The White Pearl Sunshine Summoning Charm that depicts the musical summoning of a large white pearl from an overrun garden in Antwerp, Belgium.
The gallery will be closed Friday April 6 for holidays.
